When I read this portion of the article, I stopped reading. If there's no change in policy, what's the use in getting upset? Nothing changed.
In my opinion, someone has to do a definitive study. If there is global warming, then we will have to accept it and deal with it from a conservative perspective.
At some point people are going to have to pay attention to actual scientists, as opposed to fanatsies, wish lists, and general opinion.
We need a policy based on facts. I am afraid I see people who claim that there is no global warming and their proof is no more scientific (and in some cases LESS scientific) than those who belive that global warming is a reality.
